Kicks & Minivans Kevin Giannotti

How did I know my wife was "the one"? It was more than a "when you know, you know" type of feeling. She was different and made me feel safe. When our spouse feels safe with us, they have the freedom and ability to be their full selves, and we have the ability to help them grow into the person they were created to be.

In December 2022, I was at my heaviest and unhealthiest weight I'd ever been at. At least 5 or 6 times in my adult life I had lost 20-30 pounds, only to put it back on. I wanted to do it different this time. I wanted to build a lifestyle I could consistently stick with for the rest of my life. So I dropped the weight again, and lost 30 pounds. But this time it was slower -- 12 months instead of 3 months -- and I'm better for it. I'm confident I've built a healthier lifestyle I can stick with.

Why are we talking about this on a podcast aimed at dads? Because if you're a father or husband, you have a family that's counting on you to be your best. A wife that wants her husband around for the long haul. Kids that want to wrestle with their dad. And friends, employees, coworkers, and a community that's counting on you. You can't bring your best if you aren't at your best. Being physically fit as a dad isn't for vanity; it allows us to perform at our maximum output for a longer duration. So let's talk about it.

The world is full of things out of our control. My favorite sports team losing is a constant reminder of that. The things out of our control tend to get our worry, attention, and focus... even though we can't do anything about them. But what if we stopped started focusing on the things we can control, and realized the power of influence we already have? Let's talk about it.

Look... we've all heard it. We may have even participated in it. It sadly feels inevitable if you get a group of men or women together. Someone is going to start complaining about their spouse. Nitpicking, gossiping, complaining, going on and on. It almost seems like a given. 

But what if these small, seemingly innocent conversations were actually more harmful than we believed. If our words have power and what we focus on is what we see, then talking trash about our spouse behind their back can't have a fruitful outcome, can it? Let's talk about it.

Does your spouse trust you? Do you trust your spouse? The answers to those questions are probably identical, and you can probably answer in less than a second. If it's a NO, this episode is one you need to listen to, even though I know you don't wanna do that. BUT if you care about your marriage, there has to be trust, which means there has to be opening up and letting go of some things. Let's talk about it.

You've probably heard the saying "Marriage isn't 50/50, it's 100/100). While the heart behind it is good, both sayings have merit, but neither fully embodies what a healthy marriage looks like. In this episode, KG breaks down how the 50/50 AND the 100/100 mindset can benefit our marriage, as well as an additional mindset that differs from these two.
